An excellent south western American album that is almost perfectly executed. Conceptually based around the Mexican-American barrio in L.A. that was destroyed in the 1950s in order to make room for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Ry Cooder lightly addresses the subject in stunning fashion. "Don't Call Me Red" and "3rd Base, Dodger Stadium" are both perfect examples of Cooder's ability to combine his heritage with America's own musical culture. Highly recommended and really can be appreciated by any fan of music.
